About the Event

EyeMyth, India’s premier media arts festival, is back in 2024 — this time at the British Council, New Delhi. This year’s edition includes a day-long conference, diverse musical acts, and an exciting set of workshops by contemporary practitioners. 


Unique in its intersection of Indian and global art, culture, and technology, EyeMyth explores present and future cases of immersive storytelling and new media.


India, a vibrant hub of cultural and artistic diversity, is currently experiencing a golden era for independent creatives — opportunities are abundant, platforms are more accessible, and audiences for unique, unorthodox content are growing exponentially. However, this seemingly ideal landscape is not without its complexities. Join us for this year’s edition of EyeMyth as we unpack industry trends and storytelling practices of the media arts ecosystem, and showcase emerging and established talent.


CONTENT SPOTLIGHT


  • AI FOR CULTURAL GOOD: Ethical implications of using Gen-AI, unpacking themes of originality, authenticity, and the blurry lines that define human and machine art.
  • ‘CREATIVE MIDDLE ECONOMIES’: shining light on a critical group of creators & entrepreneurs that exist between the mainstream and emerging talent. Their journey is marked by unique challenges and opportunities, and crucial creative economies futures. 

LEARN - Interactive sessions with seasoned artists and trailblazing entrepreneurs navigating technology with purpose and authenticity

JAM - Informal networking mixers bringing together professionals, mentors, students 

SHOWCASE - Presentations and performances showcasing India’s contemporary media arts landscape
